Publisher’s Message
Happy New Year to you and your families, and may we all have a fantastic 2022 filled with serenity, love and great success in all our endeavors!
We are excited to bring you our winter edition. It comes on the heels of the explosive success of our fall edition. Our worldwide readership has adopted ROR Magazine as the go-to publication that speaks to not only their eclectic tastes but to best practices in new trends in education including recruiting. As we continue to evolve, you will see that we continue to expand our global scope. We are committed to advocating for educational systems that prepare students to develop academic skill-sets, but also life skill strategies in the areas of finance, relationship communication, emotional self-care and physical health. Independent schools and colleges must also continue to be on the vanguard of expanding their curriculum to give students professional expertise, quickly leveraged to pursue well-paying careers. Schools that offer these relevant offerings will give their admission professionals a more attractive “sell” for the prospective families. Again we thank you, our readers, advertisers, writers and artists for being part of the ROR Magazine tribe. Your support has been invaluable as we continue to introduce your schools, products and talents to the world. We truly appreciate your confidence in our vision. Please enjoy our Winter edition and the literary buffet once again prepared by RhodoraO, our editor extraordinaire. Yours for a dazzling 2022,
Thomas Schenck Tom

Editor’s Message new year means a new beginning and a fresh start. Time for goals of the year A after personal, end-of-year reviews. At the ROR Magazine, we invite and welcome our fellow admissions professionals and related experts from all around the world in joining us in this fantastic journey ahead. We look forward to keep sharing more of your successes, achievements, as well as stories from schools and communities that matter to you. Our Winter Issue 2022 takes a stern look at where the independent school community stands regarding issues of diversity and inclusion. Relying on authors with distinctions of lived-in experience &/or scholarly expertise, we examine salient aspects of the broad issue. Lucia Mejia, for e.g., reports on the forgotten Indian boarding schools on US soil, Brittne Erios sets the record straight on key CRT myths, while Dr. Annise Mabry explores the homeschooling option in education choice. We are proud to feature and review art and culture from artists and authors both old and contemporary. Find useful guides, recipes and travel diaries and immerse in the company of illuminative and creative writers and one imaginative AI expert. Our next issue will bring its thematic lens to admissions itself. We zero in on the status of admissions professionals as a career choice, a field of education and traning, and as a worthy and enviable position in the private prep, day, and boarding schools all over the world. We also sample new avenues, programs, and strategies that will help professionals power through another year successfully, while navigating the public health challenges that continue to beset us. I look forward to hear from you on the challenges you face and the changes you would like to see in the status quo.

South America is one of the few regions of the world where you can scale glaciers, trek through deserts and rainforests, explore remote islands and then enjoy the bustle of colorful cities, all in one trip. Whether you choose to explore hot, cold, high or low, you will witness distinct landscapes which feel worlds apart from each other. I have never visited anywhere quite like South America and dream about the day I can return. To help you manifest this remarkable trip into your life, I am planning my dream trip as a travel diary which you are free to follow when you decide to visit the content. You cannot go wrong by making any of these four your destinations to enjoy that spring break coming on in a few weeks.

Add yogurt for that extra savory feel and the thicker consistency. Add sugars very carefully to be tastefully. Experiment with pinches of different spices such as black pepper, salt, cinnamon, and more to add a zing. Enjoy and healthy!

1452. That’s how many graves of indigenous children were discovered last year... at the sites of five different, former residential schools in Canada. Given that there were at least 367 schools in the US—the last of them closed only in 2007—who is looking for grave here?

Stephen Robert is an author and a poet with a flair for the mystical. He is a coder in day time and keeps his technological sensibility intact when he views the world with a wild lens, looking for the common undergrowth of peace, love and spirituality under the jungle of politics and conflict. He is the publisher of nine books, several of them books of poetry that can only be described as wild. We bring you some beautiful gems of his verses and thoughts from his latest collection, Mystical Secrets of the Beehive.
Mystical Secrets of the Beehive is a journey of self-discovery through wonder at the magic of nature. But the wonder begins at words. As the poet addresses his younger self in “On Poetic Revolutions,” it’s the “delicious ambiguity of the unrhymed line” that defines this journey.
I thought I was a roaring serpent, maybe a hissing lion— I am neither, I am a menagerie of dove and wildflower and moonlight; all wild and shine beneath my skin. ____ “Hybrid”
But the discovery processes making oneself receptive to such wonders can be quite an upheaval, mind you. But you can soften the blue with a panache to stay true to the experience. Roberts summarizes this attitude perfectly in starting and ending lines of his poem, aptly titled “Dear Avalanche”
Thank you for shaking the very ground of my existence. ... I lie silent, delightfully crushed by your white vein of gold.
132
Roberts affirms his identity in the delightfully errant “lowercase bio,” blinding us with his faults before revealing the stroke of his intuitive genius.
i did tell you i am all lowercase, riddled with typos, and despite all my faded tungsten light-bulbs i still hear the sound of the wind wild its wisdom way through the trees. The way the lines are formed reflects this circling. He begins with idiosyncratic metaphors that many may find mundane but ends this declaraction with a sharp, weaving gust of wind.
I thought I was a roaring serpent, maybe a hissing lion— I am neither, I am a menagerie of dove and wildflower and moonlight; all wild and shine beneath my skin. ____ “Hybrid”

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.”
r o R “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It's their mistake, not my failing.”
“It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.”
“You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.”
“This is in the attitude of mind of the populace, that they have to have an answer and that a man who gives an answer is better than a man who gives no answer, when the real fact of the matter is, in most cases, it is the other way around.”
“We have found it of paramount importance that in order to progress we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt. Scientific knowledge is a body of statements of varying degrees of certainty—some most unsure, some nearly sure, but none absolutely certain.”
s e t o u Q
“At some time people thought that the potential that people had was not developed because everyone was ignorant, and that education was the solution to the problem, that if all people were educated, we could perhaps all be Voltaires. But it turns out that falsehood and evil can be taught as easily as good.”

Terms & Conditions

Terms and Conditions The following are certain terms and conditions governing advertising published by Schenck Enterprises (“Publisher”) in the U.S. virtual edition of ROR Magazine (the “Magazine”). These terms and conditions may be revised by Publisher from time to time. Submission of insertion order for placement of advertising in the Magazine, and/or delivery of advertising materials to Publisher for inclusion in the Magazine, constitutes acceptance of the following terms and conditions by both the advertiser (“Advertiser”) and any agency or other representative acting for or on behalf of Advertiser (“Agency”). No terms or conditions in any insertion orders, reservation orders, blanket contracts, instructions or documents that are submitted or maintained by Agency or Advertiser will be binding on Publisher, unless expressly authorized in a writing signed by a senior executive of Publisher. AGENCY COMMISSION AND PAYMENT 1. Publisher has sole discretion over payment terms for advertising. Publisher may change the payment terms from time to time and without limiting generality of the foregoing may require Advertiser to make payment in advance of the on-sale date of the relevant Magazine issue. 2. Agency and Advertiser are jointly and severally liable for the payment of all invoices arising from placement of advertising in the Magazine and for all costs of collection of late payment. 3. If an account is placed with a collection agency or attorney for collection, all commissions and discounts will be rescinded or become null and void and the full advertising rate shall apply. 4. Agency commission (or equivalent): fifteen percent (15%) of gross advertising space charges, payable only to recognized agents. Payments are due in full, upon receipt. All payments must be in United States currency. Any discounts received by Advertiser on ad space charges may not be applied to production charges. 5. Advertiser shall pay all international, federal, state and local taxes on the printing of advertising materials and on the sale of ad space. CANCELLATION AND CHANGES 1. Publisher expressly reserves the right to reject or cancel for any reason at any time any insertion order or advertisement without liability, even if previously acknowledged or accepted. In the event of cancellation for default in the payment of bills, charges for all advertising published as of the cancellation date shall become immediately due and payable. 2. The conditions of advertising in the Magazine are subject to change without notice. Publisher will announce ad rate changes thirty (30) days prior to the closing date of the issue in which the new rates take effect. Orders for subsequent issues will be accepted at the then-prevailing rates. PUBLISHER’S LIABILITY 1. Publisher is not liable for any failure or delay in printing, publishing, or circulating any copies of the issue of the Magazine in which advertising is placed that is caused by, or arising from, an act of God, accident, fire, pandemics, public health emergencies, failure of transportation, strike, acts of governments, terrorism, or other occurrence beyond Publisher’s control. 2. Publisher does not guarantee positioning of advertisements in the Magazine and is not liable for failure to meet positioning requirements. PUBLISHER WILL TREAT ALL POSITION STIPULATIONS ON INSERTION ORDERS AS REQUESTS. 1. The liability of Publisher for any act, error, omission or other matter for which it may be held legally responsible shall not exceed the cost of the ad space affected by the error. In no event shall Publisher be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or incidental damages, including, but not limited to, lost income or profits. The foregoing limitations shall apply to the greatest extent permitted by law and regardless of the theory under which liability is asserted. MISCELLANEOUS 1. Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally represent and warrant that each advertisement submitted by it for publication in the Magazine, and all materials contained therein (collectively, the “Ad Materials”) including, but not limited to, Ad Materials for which Publisher has provided creative services, contains no copy, illustrations, photographs, text or other content or subject matter that violate any law, infringe any right of any party, and/or is libelous, defamatory, obscene, disparaging, racist, hateful or scandalous. As part of the consideration and to induce Publisher to publish such advertisement, Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless Publisher from and against any loss, liability, damages, fines, penalties, and related costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from publication of such Ad Materials in any applicable editions, formats or derivations of the Magazine, including, but not limited to: (a) claims of invasion of privacy, violation of rights of privacy or publicity, trademark infringement, copyright infringement, libel, misrepresentation, false advertising, or any other claims against Publisher; or (b) the failure of such Ad Materials to be in compliance and conformity with any and all laws, orders, ordinances and statutes of the United States or any of the states or subdivisions thereof; or (c) any products, goods, services, programs, events, offers and promotions that are promoted by or referenced in the Ad Materials (and the fulfillment or non-fulfillment thereof). 2. Publisher may, in Publisher’s sole and exclusive discretion and without penalty to Publisher, reject and refuse to run any Ad Materials that Publisher believes: (a) do or may violate Agency’s and Advertiser’s representations and warranties set forth above; (b) are reasonably likely to be considered objectionable by a reasonable person; and/or (c) are likely to expose Publisher, Agency and/or Advertiser to heightened legal or reputational liability or risk for any reason. 3. As part of the consideration and to induce Publisher to provide such services, Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally shall indemnify and hold harmless Publisher from and against any Losses arising from such materials, products or services, including, but not limited to, those arising from any such claims. 4. Publisher’s acceptance of an advertisement for publication in the Magazine does not constitute an endorsement of the product or service advertised. No Advertiser or Agency may use the Magazine’s name or logo without Publisher’s prior written permission for each such use. 5. The word “advertisement” will be placed above all advertisements that, in Publisher’s opinion, resemble editorial matter. 6. All terms and conditions of this Rate Card and associated insertion orders, including but not limited to pricing information, shall be the confidential information of Publisher, and neither Agency nor Advertiser may disclose any such information without obtaining Publisher’s prior written consent. 7. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. Any civil action or proceeding arising out of or related to this agreement shall be brought in the courts of record of the State of California. Advertiser and Agency each hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such civil action or proceeding in such courts. ALL PARTIES WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. ADDITIONAL COPY AND CONTRACT REGULATIONS 1. Orders and schedules are accepted for the advertising by brand of product or service only and may not be re-assigned to other products or services or to affiliated companies without the consent of Publisher.
